I noticed there’s not much on the Koon’s Ford dealership redevelopment in the update. But it looks like there are a few renderings out which include a hotel, retail, and a new CVS for the property. Any news on this?

There isn’t much else beyond what’s in the Development Update (under “Planned Projects”) and the links you listed.
Plans for a mixed use development with 25,000 sq. feet of ground floor retail sound interesting for that section of Route 1. The location is across from the View II and could attract a lot of foot traffic. But they haven’t even submitted a proposal yet, so it’s pretty far out on the horizon.
